New U-A1 Extension Modules Complete Pascal's Solutions Offering for Studio Monitor Designs

Pascal's latest U-A1 and U-A1D amplifier "extension modules" extend the company's solutions offering to include three-way studio monitor designs, augmenting its U-PRO series modules to provide an additional HF channel power option.

The U-A1 and U-A1D are single channel amplifier modules without Switch Mode Power Supplies, directly interfacing with U-PRO series modules (from which they draw mains power) to offer three-channel amplification configurations. The U-A1 and U-A1D offer 280W and 140W RMS ratings, respectively, with +/- 70v - high voltage rails providing ultra-high dynamic range and extensive headroom, for ultra clear, low distortion audiophile sonic performance.

Measuring half the length of U-PRO series modules, U-A1 / U-A1D and U-PRO combinations offer ultra-compact, low profile, space saving solutions for compact three-way loudspeaker designs.

Referencing the company's extended offerings for studio monitor design applications, senior VP of business development Peter Frentz says, "Extending our offering to include three-way systems fills out our solutions offering for the studio monitor sector. Pascal is at the forefront of the understanding of and insight into the requirements of the professional audio market, in terms of the specific application demands for self-powered amplification. Our vision and engineering premium makes Pascal the 'go to' supplier of amplifiers for all types of self-powered loudspeakers, enabling manufacturers to achieve ever increasing performance and efficiencies -- including faster time to market and cost competitiveness -- reducing the risk to development projects."
